Uh, only 1d is the default for autowhite?
That's pretty low.

That's true.  The problem you described can happen if the
"autowhite" value is shorter than the "timeout" value.
I've set both to 5d and didn't have any problems.

The documentation should mention that the "autowhite"
setting should be at least as long as the "timeout"
setting (or longer, of course), and the default values
should obey that.
